Introducing Delogue’s sample management workflow for fashion teams
Keep samples moving and keep the season on plan
Sample management is the working rhythm of product development: what’s been requested, what’s blocked, and what can be approved.
When that rhythm breaks, the calendar breaks with it.
Delogue centralises sample management inside the product record, so everything stay connected and supports supply planning all the way to shipment.
The sampling problem: progress exists, but visibility doesn’t
Most brands get stuck managing sampling across too many places.
Requests, feedback, and files are split, so suppliers may act on outdated information.
Scattered flows create busy work that looks like progress, but often isn’t.
Decisions land under pressure because time has already slipped. Problems rarely show up as one big failure - they build as small delays across the collection.
By the time the impact is clear, the season has no slack left, and sampling starts dictating launch timing.
Cloud based supply chain planning - right up to shipment
In practice, sampling is a timeline. Each round affects production readiness and final shipment, so supply chain planning depends on solid sample management.
Teams need a reliable sense of what’s moving, and what will slip if nothing changes.
Delogue works as your cloud based supply chain planning system by centralising sample work with deadlines and clear ownership in one workflow.
When sample status is trustworthy, planning becomes less reactive.
Delogue let you set the foundation in Admin: seasons, structure, and milestones
Good sampling starts with a solid setup.
In Delogue, the Admin module is where brands build the foundation for the season: the structure teams will work in, the rules that keep data consistent, and the milestones that make timelines real.
-
Define key deadlines for each sample round
-
Align deadlines with your season calendar
-
Standardise the same workflow across teams and suppliers
-
Reuse the structure season after season to reduce setup work
-
Make deadlines meaningful by keeping the process consistent and easy to follow
Time planning tied to every style and collection
Sample management gets easier when time planning lives where the work lives.
Delogue shows requests, due dates, and what’s late directly on the style - you can also assign to-dos to specific styles and owners, so accountability is clear.
When tasks and deadlines are attached to the product record, teams can react faster when something slips.
That matters because planning only works when it drives action. This is cloud based supply chain planning built on the live workflow.
Real stories. Real results.

Supplier collaboration that reduces delays and repeat rounds
Sampling lives or dies on supplier alignment.
When suppliers receive fragmented instructions, they respond with fragmented outcomes - and the next sample round becomes a correction round.
Delogue reduces that by inviting suppliers into the same workflow, so requests, feedback and updates stay connected to the style.
-
Smoother internal handovers because the decision trail is already there
-
Less time spent re-explaining changes across functions
-
Fewer misunderstandings that trigger correction rounds
-
Faster sampling cycles, with fewer unnecessary loops
-
More time saved early, so decisions aren’t rushed when the calendar tightens
Reporting as a module: one live overview across styles, tasks and approvals
Instead of piecing status together from trackers and inboxes, Delogue’s PLM report module pulls from live workflow data, so the view reflects what’s happening across collections and styles.
Because the module is configurable, each role can filter to what matters.
-
Surface sample status and outstanding tasks in one place
-
Track pending approvals and approaching deadlines without manual reporting
-
Filter by role to focus on what matters
-
Spot bottlenecks early and steer timelines with fewer surprises
-
Support cloud based supply chain planning with live readiness signals
Built by the industry. Shaped with brands. Made for the day-to-day
Delogue is built by people who know fashion product development, and it keeps evolving through close, hands-on collaboration with brands using it every day.
We hear it again and again across customer stories: important feedback and tasks get buried in the noise.
This slows time-to-market and chips away at margin long before anything reaches production. That’s why the fix has to live in the daily workflow where the leaks begin.
